With the Yankees facing their first left-handed starter of the season in Nestor Cortes when they resumed their series against the Brewers, manager Aaron Boone gave his Game 1 lineup an overhaul.

The offseason departure of Gleyber Torres left a void atop the Yankees’ lineup. Boone has said he’s considered six or seven players as candidates to bat first, including the lefty-swinging Austin Wells, who on Thursday became the first catcher in MLB history to hit a leadoff home run on Opening Day.

The Yankee Stadium crowd was electrified as the Milwaukee Brewers played against the New York Yankees. Fans were looking for an entertaining game, but not even they could imagine what would make history in Major League Baseball.
